UNExoEPTI0NAL COLLATERAL.
How Pacific Bank President SXvelIed
 the Interest Account.

tFrom the San Francisco Wasp.l
 The other morning as the janitor of a
 bank not very far from the palace opened the door he was surprised to observe three
 rather tired-looking citizens seated on
 the steps, the center one of whom held a l sealed envelope carefully in sight of his com panions.
 "Want to make deposit, ,gentlemen:'' asked l the cash hier who shortly arrived. "Step in side"
 "No, I want to negotiate loan,'' said the
 man with the envelope, land there ain't a
 minute to lose. want $5, 900 quieker'n hades l can scorch feather" "What collateral have you-goyernment?" l inquired the bank official. "Government nothin'. I've got something | that beats per cent. all hollow You see I've been sitting i'll poker game across the street and there's over S4,000 in the pot. | There are three or four pretty strong hands | out, and as I've every cent in the center the I boys have given me thirty minutes to raise a stake on my hand. It's in this envelope.
 Just look at it, but don't give it away to | these gentlemen. They're in the game, and | came along to see that I don't monkey with | the cards"
 'But, my dear sir," said the cashier, who l had quietly opened the envelope and found it | to contain four kings and an ace, "this is | entirely irregular-we don't lend money on | cards"
 But you ain't going to see me raised
 out on hand like that" whispered the pokerist. ''These fellows tbink Pm bluffng,
 but can just clean out the whole gang. You
 see we ain't playing fushes, so Pve got 'em | right in the door," | "Can't help it, sir. Never heard of such
 8 thing" said the cashier and the disap- | pointed applicant and friends drifted sadly
 out On the corner they met the banks l president, who was himself just from quiet
 little all-night game at the Union. They l explained the case again and the next
 moment the superior officer darted into
 the bank, seized the bag of twenties and
 followed the trio. Iu about ten min
 utes he returned with the bag and an extra | handful of twenties, which he flung on the | counter.
 1 s'There, credit $500 to interest account D | he said to the cashier. ''Why, I thought | you had more business snap, sir. Ever play poker?'
 | ''No, sir"
 | "Ah thought not-thought not. If you did 1 you would know what good collateral was. Re
 member that in future-four kings and an ace,
 fushes barred, are always good in this insti- | tuition for our entire assets sir-our entire | assets.'

The southern representatives who voted for the interstate commerce law apparently did not notice the provision in it giving eqtial rights to all passengers. Their atten- tion will be called to it by suit which is to be brought. A well dressed, gehtlsmanly appearing colored clergyman having bought 8 first class ticket from Chattanooga to At Ianta took his seat in frst-elass ear on the Western and Atlanta road one day last week. The conductor ordered him into the smok- ing car and he refused to go, whereupon three young ruffians appeared and sayagely assaulted him, finally showing him from the train into a ditch, as the cars stopped at Dalton. The clergyman is to prosecute the road under the provisions of the interstate commerce bill:

Britannia won't rule the wave, or the land, again until there is change in the way her military affairs are attended to. A re- port just issued by parliamentary com mittee relates to the cutlass and sword bayo- nets supplied to the navy since 1871, and it declares that these weapons "with which the navy are now for the most part armed" are Absolutely insufficient, untrustworthy and unfit for service" The design made by the War office was bad; the bad design was promptly accepted by the admiralty; the weapons were then very badly made and in

The decision of Judge Deadly of Oregon on the long and short haul clause of the inter State commerce bill is thought at Washing ton to foreshadow the failure of the bill, as the same reasoning by which he allows the Oregon railroad, involved in the case before him, to send freight through on it's own terms can be applied to any road and the same methods used to defeat the operation of the law. The law is growing less and less popular every day.

remark comes with peculiar force to
the colored people as a race-strug-
cling for existence and for an eleva-

where manhood, honesty and integrity.
and not color shall constitute unlver
sal criterion of respectability. This ];
the one desideratum--the one thing
for which we oil long and most ear

it seems to be the great trouble. To
begin with, we may rely upon one
thing as absolutely true, that whatever
means may be necessary to bring
about this most desirable condition in
our social. religious and politica
affairs; must come from within rather
than without. In this particular the
pertinent interrogation Of the poet
comes home potentially to us. Know
We not that they who would be free
themselves must strike the blow.
BY their right arm the conquest
must be wrought. 1t was for a time
supposed by many of our people that
education was universal panacea for
all our ills. But while education is
] indeed most powerful element in the
progress ofany people. while much can
not be accomplished with ut il, yet it
can not, single-h IN led and alone do all
that the situation requires. 1t can and
will doits part. But ii needs to be re-
inforced by otner elements and means
Prominent among which are money,
character and influence
How are we to get the money? We
are to make it for ourselves. w e make
large sums of money, but we do not
husband it. What we m ke as wages
out of one man Of other races than oul
own, we take it across the street and
give it back to man of thesame race
or to some one who stands on the same
level with him from whom we received
it And thus we are. continually get

This condition must forever continue
as long as this process goes on. Hov
shall we stop it? Howshall we manag'
